Jonathan thinks about how many times he had been in that same situation and can relate to her. as he was encouraged to journal his responses to the literature while reading, he writes the following in his journal: i have been there so many times and can really feel for aurea. it is sooo frustrating to have to write something but not know what to say. jonathan is:

a. reading and responding
b. interpreting
c. evaluating

The correct answer is:

a. Reading and responding

Explanation:

According to Cooper (1993), the process of responding refers to the moment when the reader immediately answers to what it was previously read or listened before. In this case Jonathan is reading what he was encouraged to do and to write and he is immediately saying his opinion about it. This is a process that not only consists of reading and responding itself, but also in what it can be concluded after this exercise by the audience.  

The purpose of the text.

Check that you are not deviating from the purpose to be sure that you are delivering precise and clear procedure. Else you could be writing a masterpiece of something that is not achieving the goals for which it was created and will confuse the reader.
